A pledge to not raise taxes on people earning less than 400k per year

Not supporting a ban on fracking

Getting the immigration bill that failed at the beginning of 2024 passed, and pledging to sign it. That bill will give far more power to the President to actually implement lockdowns on the border -- the reason the courts deep sixed Trumps earlier attempts. In that manner there will be an explicit authorization from Congress to do just that. In addition to the larger numbers of agents, and better funding to speed up administrative logjams in the deportation process.

Standing and supporting Ukraine in its war against an aggressor nation.

Binding code of the ethics on the Supreme Court

There are a number I disagree with as well.

When she ran in 2020 she stated adamantly that she was 100% against fracking. She's on record recently as saying that "her values haven't changed". Even Bernie Sanders stated on TV a few weeks ago when asked if they had changed and he said that she was saying what she needed to say to get elected!!! If she has reeled you in so be it.

Quote:If she does what the Democrats have said (including her) that they will let the Trump Tax Cuts expire in 2025, that will absolutely raise taxes on people making less than $400,000. I make a lot less than that in retirement and it will increase my taxes by $2,000 - $3,000+ annually. I know this because I asked the accountant that does our taxes how much it saved my wife and I the year after it took effect, and she printed out the difference that it made. She also said that it helped nearly everyone that she did taxes for that year. Facts!

You are making a lot of assumptions about future events. That is the *fact* in your comment above.

My taxes have been lowered every year since the Trump Tax Cuts went into effect. The Democrats have stated that they will allow them to expire in 2025. Doing so will increase my income tax having to be paid for both Federal and State. Those are both facts.

That makes NO sense. There has not been a cut in the tax rate. If you paid less taxes, you had less taxable income or more credits or more withholding (which YOU paid). Since the rate didn't change, what specific credit change happened after trumps tax plan was passed?

And no, the Dems have ZERO plans to let the tax cuts on those making under 400k expire.

And I believe the plan (at least the tax cuts on individuals) will expire regardless...a new plan will need to be passed for those no matter what.

You have no clue about what you are talking about. I don't need Kamala to PROMISE me a tax cut (pie in the sky) because I make less than $400,000. I already have a tax cut in hand that is likely better than anything she will do for me that will expire after 2025 unless it is renewed (by Trump).

My taxes DID go down immediately after the Trump Tax Reduction took place. My wife and I are retired, on fixed incomes, our deductions don't change from year to year to amount to anything. We file jointly taking the standard deduction. When we immediately got a substantially higher return check than normal, I asked the accountant that has done our tax returns for at least 15 - 20 years if the Trump Tax Reduction had caused that. The answer was a resounding YES!!! I asked if most people had benefitted from it similar as how we did. The answer was a resounding YES!!! She stated that she had only had 2 or 3 that had to pay more taxes, and they were very high dollar individuals. I asked her if she could show me the difference in the tax percentages it had made for us. She printed them out and handed it to me. It saved us on both our federal returns and our state returns (and is still doing so).

Only positive thing money wise that I can attribute to Biden/Harris is that their policies have assisted in the banks now giving 5% interest on my CDs.

Most people that file a 1040EZ have no idea what a "standard deduction" is. I get ignorant Dem voters tell me all the time the "Trump Tax Cut" didn't help them. My response is, "So you use the standard deduction that was in place before the Trump Tax Cut". And they look at me like I have an arm growing out of my face.

When do any campaigns talk about their internal polling?

Another high jacked thread.

Harris’s numbers can’t collapse from 22%.

I assumed you meant your taxes went down each year. I can see now that you were most likely saying that they were reduced from the old law and remained each year, which is true for you...and everyone. The tax rate did not decline each year since trump. They were reduced and remained. Apologies for any confusion.

He wasn't even on this site when it happened.

And yes, I know what an insurance deductible is. Regardless, they have nothing to do with making tax software.

If he actually cares about this, I made a mistake when describing co-insurance, and that happened like 10 years ago. I apologized and corrected the mistake like a day later.

Yes, that is indeed exactly what I meant in my original statement (lowered every year since what they were BEFORE the Trump Tax Cuts) that you quoted above. Apology for the misunderstanding of it on your end is accepted. Glad to hear that you "and most everyone else" also benefitted from the Trump Tax Cut.

Yes, that is indeed exactly what I meant in my original statement (lowered every year since what they were BEFORE the Trump Tax Cuts) that you quoted above. Apology for the misunderstanding of it on your end is accepted. Glad to hear that you "and most everyone else" also benefitted from the Trump Tax Cut.

Almost everyone did. That isnt in dispute.

The rates were reduced at every level, and the income necessary to jump a level increased across the board.

Kamala has said those things would remain the same under her policies, given that the Congress will pass the extensions. Except she has carved away that protection at the level above 400k income.

If you paid less taxes, you had less taxable income or more credits or more withholding (which YOU paid). Since the rate didn't change, what specific credit change happened after trumps tax plan was passed?

And no, the Dems have ZERO plans to let the tax cuts on those making under 400k expire.

And I believe the plan (at least the tax cuts on individuals) will expire regardless...a new plan will need to be passed for those no matter what.

You have no clue about what you are talking about. I don't need Kamala to PROMISE me a tax cut (pie in the sky) because I make less than $400,000. I already have a tax cut in hand that is likely better than anything she will do for me that will expire after 2025 unless it is renewed (by Trump).

My taxes DID go down immediately after the Trump Tax Reduction took place. My wife and I are retired, on fixed incomes, our deductions don't change from year to year to amount to anything. We file jointly taking the standard deduction. When we immediately got a substantially higher return check than normal, I asked the accountant that has done our tax returns for at least 15 - 20 years if the Trump Tax Reduction had caused that. The answer was a resounding YES!!! I asked if most people had benefitted from it similar as how we did. The answer was a resounding YES!!! She stated that she had only had 2 or 3 that had to pay more taxes, and they were very high dollar individuals. I asked her if she could show me the difference in the tax percentages it had made for us. She printed them out and handed it to me. It saved us on both our federal returns and our state returns (and is still doing so).

Only positive thing money wise that I can attribute to Biden/Harris is that their policies have assisted in the banks now giving 5% interest on my CDs.

I make tax software...I very much know what I'm talking about. Yes, the trump tax cut benefitted you...as it did me...and mostly everyone else.

I was talking about your following statement:

Quote:my taxes have been lowered every year since the Trump Tax Cuts

I assumed you meant your taxes went down each year. I can see now that you were most likely saying that they were reduced from the old law and remained each year, which is true for you...and everyone. The tax rate did not decline each year since trump. They were reduced and remained. Apologies for any confusion.

Kamala has said a lot of conflicting things in the last 2-3 months about numerous hot topics - Border Security, Illegals, Private Health Care Insurance, Taxes, (to name just a few). Buyer Beware!

Would have thought they’d have seen the light after the last 3.5 years going exactly the way most of us said it would.

Everyone does, you fool.

What is sad, the economy may not even be a voting factor since half the country wants a communist regime who hates everything that is free. That want freebies, but not freedom.
